Pennine Way Walking Holiday | Walking Holiday in Britain | Self Guided Walking Holiday

Stretching from the Derbyshire village of Edale in the Peak District National Park, the Pennine Way route takes you north along the backbone of England to finish in Kirk Yetholm, which is across the Scottish border in Roxburghshire. On the way you are following the Pennine Hills passing through parts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Durham and Northumberland. Often high above the nearest towns and villages, you will be alone with the weather and the wildlife. It is quite simply an unforgettable walking experience.

Grade: Difficult

Meals:
You will normally be staying in a town or village where there is at least one place to buy an evening meal. On the rare occasion that this is not possible, we will book you into an accommodation which provides an evening meal (this is not included in the holiday price). Lunches can usually be bought on route and we can advise you of the days when this is not possible. On these days you can book a packed lunch from your accommodation by letting them know the night before or we can book it for you. These usually cost about £5. Alternatively, most of the towns and villages in which you stay have shops where you can buy items to make up your own packed lunch.

When to Go:
April, May and June are when everything comes to life so it is very green, wild  flowers are abundant and blossom abounds. July and August tend to be the  warmest months, but it is rarely so warm as to be uncomfortable for walking or  cycling. September tends to be one of the most pleasant times in the
countryside and is quieter as most people with children have finished their  holidays. By October the days are getting shorter and the weather is much more  changeable.

Getting there:
The most convenient airport is Manchester. Edale can be reached by train via Manchester or Sheffield.

Departure:
From Kirk Yetholm take a bus to Berwick upon Tweed for rail connections to York, Edinburgh and London.
